Japanese: 法華義疏 - ほっけぎしょ

[1] A commentary on the Lotus Sutra from the Sui period in China. Twelve volumes. Written by Jizo of the Sui dynasty. Written from the perspective of the Sanron theory. [2] One of the Sankyo Gishu (Comments on the Three Sutras). Four volumes. It was thought to have been written by Prince Shotoku, but in recent years this theory has been cast into doubt. It is a commentary on the 28 chapters of the Lotus Sutra translated by Kumarajiva, based on the Hokke Giji (Hokke-giji) by Fayun of Liang, and is said to have shaped the development of Japanese Buddhism through its original interpretations in many places.

[一] 中国隋代の法華経の注釈書。一二巻。隋の吉蔵著。三論の立場によって書かれている。[二] 三経義疏の一つ。四巻。聖徳太子の著とされたが、近年、その説は疑われている。鳩摩羅什訳の妙法蓮華経二八品に対する注釈書で梁の法雲の法華義記などによるが、随所に独創的解釈を行ない、日本仏教の展開を方向づけたといわれる。
